Because the National Park's campsites at Lawn Hill itself were booked out we stayed at Adel's Grove. The Adel's Grove site is physically much nicer than the  National Park campground but is also much  more populated and is 12km away from the actual Gorge.

This shot is taken from the lookout overlooking the Indarri falls. The falls are almost hidden by the pandanus palms. In the shot is also the electric boat that takes trips up the middle gorge.

We hired a canoe and had a relaxing paddle up the middle gorge. Apparently in the 2 hour hire period you can carry your canoe around Indarri falls and paddle up the top gorge. We didn't do this

The end of the gorge system from the top of the stacks.

The water is incredibly clear. This shot tries to capture this. Follow the stems of the small lilly leaves down. See the small Archer fish near the surface, also if you look you can see a fish near the bottom at the right of the shot.

Came across this small lizard on the walking track to the Indarri falls lookout.

Indarri Falls

The gorge taken from our boat trip.

The canoe trip was probably just as good or better but on the boat someone else was driving and I had two hands free to use my camera.

The road into the gorge is quite rough and dusty. This is not fog but dust on the road that hung in the air forever in the stillness of the morning.

Because the sunrises quite late and I am still waking up at "normal" time I rode my bike from Adel's Grove to Lawn hill. I took this sunrise shot along the way.

Riversleigh is famous for its mammal fossils.

There is quite a good information "hut" there and a couple of interesting fossils. We were both excited and disappointed at the walk. At the start of the walk there is this turtle fossil. The top and bottoms of the shell are clearly visible. The rest of the walk was pretty much up the hill to look at the view and then down the other side to see the fossil of a bird bone. It is s pretty special bird bone though, it is from a large flightless bird -bigger than an emu.

The fossils are really clear in the old exposed limestone. As the lime stone weathers it goes grey but the fossilised bone stays white.
